Retrieved December 28, 2002, from Academic Search Premier database: http://search.epnet.com/direct.asp?an=5858221&db=aph Bullying is a problem which is receiving increasing attention worldwide. Researchers in several countries have already devised and implemented bullying intervention/prevention programs on a nation-wide basis.

Four bullying interventions are summarized and reviewed, and the main findings indicate everyone must shoulder the responsibility of putting an end to bullying behaviour Smith-Pittman, M.
